Best movie of this year hands down!
Allison Davies
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

C'mon!!!!!!!!!!!!! The concept is soooo EAAASY to at least give us a weak, cheap laugh every four minutes (AT THE VERY LEAST)And instead I had to stop watching at the 30' mark, after seeing joke after joke, gag after gag FAIL HARD to even make me think about the possibility of a smile, let alone laugh

This movie offers a cozy relaxation time with a few laughs and a good cast and also a good director.So we have two buddy's who are different but work well of each other and leave their village 2 discover new things and it just has a nice sense of adventure and good feel and the movie just offers this good and cozy look. Its definitely not a great film but its something that you might want 2 see again when your in the right mood.These guys meet a lot of weird people and get into lot of weird circumstances and its just genuinely funny sometimes.Definitely worth a check and not bad in a sense that its not enjoyable cause it most certainly could be worth your time.

Director Harold Ramis takes us back the old ages with this slipshod comedy partially based on the Book of Genesis, starring an amazing cast of Jack Black, Michael Cera, David Cross, Oliver Platt, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Olivia Wilde, Juno Temple, Vinnie Jones, and Hank Azaria. Jack Black plays Zed, a caveman living off in a poor village, surviving from hunting and gathering from animals. Zed is unhappy about the village life as is friend Oh (Michael Cera), who tries unsuccessfully to win the heart of one of the village girls Ema (Juno Temple), and Zed who is in love with Maya (June Diane Raphael). While trekking outside the boundaries of the village, Zed and Oh come across the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil where Zed eats the forbidden fruit. Thus, Zed becomes cursed and flees from the village with Oh and travels to the city of Sodom ruled by a cruel priest (Oliver Platt). In the process, they encounter the murder of Abel (Paul Rudd) by his brother Cain (David Cross) and the attempted killing of Isaac (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) by father Abraham (Hank Azaria).Despite the talented cast, this movie falls short of nothing but one-joke comedy. It introduces a fresh idea, although genuinely similar to the popular Monty Python films such as The Holy Grail and Life of Brian. This film tries to get out the laughs from dull humor and stale dialogue, some of the humor is hilarious, but most of it falls flat. Apparently since this is set in the year one as described by the title, the jokes have to be "year one". The film struggles to come with inspiring humor other than light-hearted reenactments of the killing of Abel and binding of Isaac. Jack Black and Michael Cera manage to steal at least most of the spotlight with occasionally funny gags and dialogue, the rest of the cast left with nothing funny or remotely exciting to bring to the table. The biggest dilemma is not the cast nor the acting, but the lazy screenplay.Year One is quite a disappointing comedy for such an amazing cast, with lame jokes and lame script. Unless you are avid Jack Black and Michael Cera fan, this film mostly not for you.

This is a silly concept film starring Jack Black and Michael Cera as two cavemen in supposedly pre historic times who wander off and then end up in biblical times first encountering Cain and Abel and ending up in the town of Sodom where they try to free people from their own tribe from slavery.So Year One is a romp that goes from the stone age with hunter & gatherers to farmer & herders to wheeled ox pulled wagons to the time of Abraham and its also a comedy with Jack Black doing his usual stretched out shtick.The film is directed by Harold Ramis who is also a credited co-writer but its been a come down from the heady days of Ghostbusters. Oliver Platt, Hank Azaria and Xander Berkeley are the wasted actors in this lame film that provides few laughs and will leave you open mouthed as to how poor it is.
